Facilis Descensus Averno

By alesana

Facilis descensus Averno,
A brilliant tongue once spoke.
The Descent into Hell is Easy -
This we all must know.

For wide are thrown the gates aflame
And dark is all our sin,
It so becomes us then to hold
Our shadows deep within.

Facilis descensus Averno,
A masterful hand once wrote.
The Descent into Hell is Easy -
Yet too late I look to hope.
